<h2>Import/Export to XML</h2>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Arial'>BORG can export/import its
data to/from XML. This is a fully functional export/import with an improved XML
format as of release 1.2. The import/export actions can be found on the month
view Action menu. Import/Export provides a good way to backup your data in
human readable/editable form.<br>
<br>
Import will merge data into the current database. This can be dangerous. <i>Importing
data back into the database it came from will create duplicates of every item,
with no automatic way of cleaning them up</i>, so be careful. <br>
<br>
In 1.3.2, import from a URL was added. An example URL would be <a
href="http://your.server.name/some/path/borg.xml">http://your.server.name/some/path/borg.xml</a>.
This allows you to import data from a website. This might be used if someone
posted common appointments on the web to be imported by a number of people.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Arial'><br>
Export to a URL will export all 4 databases as files borg.xml, mrdb.xml,
addr.xml, and memo.xml to wherever the URL points. You cannot use an http URL.
You need to use something like FTP, and in general, this is a way to FTP your
XML data. For example, <a href="ftp://username@your.ftp.server/your/path">ftp://username@your.ftp.server/your/path</a>
is a URL that will FTP the XML files to a server that doesn&#8217;t require a
password.. If a password is needed, you must specify in the URL -
ftp://username:password@your.ftp.server/your/path. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Arial'><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Arial'>Besides providing a
non-local backup for your own data, Import/Export from URL could be used to
share common data, such as meetings, holidays, etc...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
